computer security 683#7

For this assingment, locate a website from a Middle Eastern company. After doing so, perform some security reconnaissance to find out as much information as you can about the website. Things to consider could include:

• HTML/scripting languages used

• Are there any submission forms where perhaps a SQL injection attack could be attempted?

• What web server software is the site using? (Hint: try using a website such as www.netcraft.com to determine the technologies powering that website).

Keep in mind, however, that you are NOT being asked to attack or compromise the site in any fashion. Instead, use the information that you obtain to discuss how an attack or potential intruder could use this information for a potential website attack.

In preparing your response, cite at least one source from professional or academic literature, such as articles from peer-reviewed journals and relevant textbooks. For this course, the use of Wikipedia is not considered an academic or professional reference. You should also be sure to proof-read and spell-check your responses. All sources should be formatted with APA style guidelines.
